in-game-menu graphics options question - Extreme or Optimized? Thread - L.U.R.K. mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
The L.U.R.K. team wants to provide the best possible experience from Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, we don't plan to skew the scope of this game, because I, like many others, fell in love with the game because of the story, the realistic gameplay, and the atmosphere. I plan to preserve and improve on that concept to the best of my abilities, and our team has vowed to do so as well. Which is why we took it upon ourselves to provide that experience. We want to fulfill a niche that's otherwise unfulfilled in the modding community. We want to bring as many features to Stalker without damaging or changing the original theme of the game. While improving upon that concept with features that were dropped off the development cycle from GSC, such as stealth AI, and a strong foundation for balance, as well as dynamic A-Life, and an unprecedented visual presentation that no other Stalker Overhaul can touch.

So I just downloaded Lurk 1.1 and the patch for 1.1 and had some trouble installing...I first copied all the contents of the "gamedata" and "extreme" folders into the SOC main directory, but then figured out that I had to copy the entire folder. Where I'm at right now is that Extreme drops my framerate to unacceptable levels, but Optimized also does the same, oddly enough. If I toy with the in-game quality settings, will this screw up and override settings from Lurk? What in-game settings are we supposed to be using in order to take advantage of the Lurk textures and optimization? If I decide to run the "optimized" setting option from LURK, am I supposed to turn the in-game option for HDR down to Object or even Static lighting? Or am I permenantly supposed to leave the in-game option for HDR on and just let the Optimized option fix the settings behind the shell? For specs, I'm running a brand new Nvidia GTS 360M with 1gb video mem, 4 gigs of ram, and an i7 quadcore, and I managed to squeak out acceptable play on my old Desktop with a Nvidia 6800GT, so there's no way in hell it's my box. The readme for LURK even puts me in the catagory that should be able to run extreme...what should I do? |

Lol. my specs are far outdated and I haven't had any issues with frame rate and I'm running Optimized on medium. Either try to mess up with the specs lowering them down if the game is the issue, maybe a reinstall if you have time, maybe some textures files are corrupted but that is a small chance. Also did you instal direct X 10 and updated your Graphic board drivers ? You know this may cause some big issue if you didn't. |
